Lithgow Ladies Championships struggle in rain, long grass

The Lady Golfers can’t seem to take a trick when it comes to holding Championships.

The Foursomes Championships were postponed in early September due to the unplayable condition of the course and the event was re-scheduled for November 5 and 7.

On the first day disappointingly the greenkeeper had an RDO and the recently renovated greens were not mown leaving the grass very long and making putting extremely difficult but considering that, scores were generally quite good.

On day two early in the round the heavens opened and heavy rain persisted for most of the day with scores very much affected by the terrible conditions.

After the first round defending Champions Judy Charman and Lynne Ritchie were behind by four strokes from Judy Moore and Sue Brooks.

Round two saw the pairing of Charman and Ritchie come home the stronger to win by two strokes to continue their stranglehold on the event.

IN GOOD FORM: Judy Charman. Picture: SUPPLIED.

The 36 Holes handicap saw the same pairing figuring in the prizes, J Charman and L Ritchie beating J Moore and S Brooks on a count back both returning a score of 154 nett.

Due to a two trophy per person rule, day one Rhonda Thompson and Janice Cohen were the winners with 72 nett while day two was taken out by Marie Hackett and Narelle Potts.
